  • Optometrist Assistant at Antoine Eyecare
    Jun 2017 - Apr 2018 · 11 mos

    My duties as an optometrist technician included greeting and checking in patients, answering phone calls and making appointments, organizing contact lens orders and condensing paper files into online format. I also performed exam pre-testing including autorefractor, NCT, color vision testing, stereo acuity, and dilation. After the doctor saw the patient I was in charge of checking the patient out and ensuring proper billing to their vision endurance. I also preformed contact lens insertion and removal training as well as contact lens pricing and billing. If the doctor required further testing I would preform OCT, visual fields, and macular pigment testing. My time at Antoine eye care gave me an all inclusive view of the different positions required to run a good optometry office.
